Bar Hemingway1
Mythical palace bar

Bar Hemingway

Ritz Paris - 1st

The Hemingway Bar is the most romantic address at the Ritz Paris: twenty-five seats, padded leather, sepia lighting and cocktails served in the silence of a private club. We come there for the myth, but also for a very precise execution of the classics and the tailor-made.

Bar Nouveau2
Cocktails Art nouveau

Bar Nouveau

Haut Marais - 3rd

Bar Nouveau transposes the Art Nouveau imagination into a very contemporary bar: small room, short menu, precise gestures and a more immersive experience in the basement on weekends. The address functions as an aesthetic interlude as much as a cocktail bar.

Bisou.3
Custom cocktails

Bisou.

Boulevard du Temple - 3rd

Kiss. has built its reputation on a simple and quite rare promise: no menu, but a cocktail composed according to the customer's desires. The floral, pink and very direct atmosphere makes the address more accessible than many mixology bars.

Candelaria4
Agave Tacos and Speakeasy

Candelaria

Rue de Saintonge - 3rd

Candelaria keeps its charm as a false secret: taqueria in front, dark bar behind the small door at the back. The place remains one of the best entry points into Paris for agave-based cocktails, with tacos as a prelude and a very lively Marais atmosphere.

CRAVAN5
House cocktail culturelle

CRAVAN

Saint-Germain-des-Prés - 6th

CRAVAN is not just a bar: it is a vertical house in Saint-Germain, with several bars, a Rizzoli bookstore and a very cultural reading of the cocktail. The address combines heritage, contemporary design and obsession with detail.

Danico6
Cocktails globe-trotters

Danico

Gallery Vivienne - 2nd

Hidden behind Daroco, Danico is the Parisian playground of Nico de Soto and his team. The bar works in menu cycles inspired by travel, with a graphic aesthetic, an international energy and very constructed cocktails.

The Union7
French spirits and hip-hop

Le Syndicat

Faubourg Saint-Denis - 10th

Le Syndicat remains one of the most identifiable Parisian bars: facade covered in posters, raw room, hip-hop and cocktails built around French spirits. The address is less polite than a palace, but much more personal.

Little Red Door8
Creative cocktails from Le Marais

Little Red Door

Rue Charlot - 3rd

Little Red Door is a pillar of the Marais cocktail: discreet entrance, conceptual menus, very Anglo-Saxon hospitality and advanced aromatic research. The address appeals as much to the curious as to travelers who come to check off a bar regularly mentioned in international lists.

Prescription Cocktail Club9
Speakeasy rive gauche

Prescription Cocktail Club

Saint-Germain-des-Prés - 6th

Prescription Cocktail Club has reopened with a more theatrical and cosmic decor, still in the Left Bank speakeasy spirit. The Experimental house combines alcoves, velvet, a scenographic bar and a cocktail menu designed like a little nighttime crossing.

The Cambridge Public House10
Sustainable pub and cocktails

The Cambridge Public House

Rue de Poitou - 3rd

The Cambridge Public House mixes pub spirit, very serious cocktails and lasting commitment. Less hidden than other addresses in the Marais, the place works well for a precision drink without losing the warmth of a neighborhood counter.
